Showdown, my deck is from the East.

Chapter 1222 Star Gate
The food problem has only been temporarily resolved.

The next question in this round is about "fire".

A large amount of gas indicates a severe oversupply in both light and heavy industries, necessitating export.

With 100 "fire" income per round plus the wonder of composite light industry, such a huge industrial capacity is probably beyond consumption, and leaving it idle would be a waste.

There is a way to export production capacity.

When the Machine Race collapsed, a large number of organic species in the Allied Forces defected under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs, leading to the Great Migration of the myriad races in the Central Plains.

The key is whether we can find the various primitive tribes of today.

Players who lack mental fortitude and skill have long been eliminated or have defected.

These remaining races must all possess unique skills?

For example, Zhao Zhi and his Heavenly King.

Lu Cheng believed that he had just conquered Yan Yun and that his strength was indeed formidable.

However, it suffers from poor circulation and insufficient consumption, requiring a certain amount of strategic space to balance output and plan card upgrades.

If they can provide a large amount of raw materials, unique technologies, and rare resources, the various resources of their own deck can be circulated externally, greatly accelerating the process.

The second major advantage is that if they have their own production capacity, they will not be so easily wiped out by the Central Plains Army. Restraining and depleting the Demon Clan's forces will only benefit them.

The third major benefit is quite practical.

Lu Cheng now needs a batch of imported weapons.

The troops under my command are designed for tough battles; it would be a waste to use them to fight the demons of the North.

The nomadic tribes, including those led by Eksos, simply refused to engage in direct confrontation. Their massive expenditure of resources and deployment of troops was like punching cotton.

Cheap security forces cards are really not available in Lucheng.
If we could import a batch, we wouldn't have to spend this R&D expense.

But Yan Yun is separated from the Southern Border by the vast Central Continent. Is it possible for trade routes to cross the Demon Realm's time-controlled zone and enter the Wilderness?
It's absolutely impossible to switch to a planetary civilization, but for a Golden Immortal, there are at least nine ways.

"Activate the Heavenly Artifact [South Heavenly Gate], and apply the Law Card [Time-Space Rift]."

[The speed of light is being secretly altered.]

[Currently compiling cosmological constants.]

[The definition of spacetime is being revised.]

This is the rule of chaos.

As long as no higher-level laws exist, the universe is like a little girl who can be dressed up however one pleases.
Although the demon race's law-fighting forces are powerful, the laws only clash when the two armies are in battle. They can't even reach my territory normally, right?

[Searching for the desolate ruins - Xuanwu Gate.] (Long press to use 10 "fire" to speed up the Heavenly Gate)
"You add it!" Lu Cheng gritted his teeth.

(Fire-10)

Search complete. 1 result found.

"Activate the spatial artifact [Pisces Pendant], and apply the law card [Multidimensional Space]."

[Using the power of law to create a low-dimensional transmission channel] (Long press to use 10 "fire" to help the little fish)

"You're this expensive too?!" Lu Cheng wailed.

There's nothing we can do but agree.

(Fire-10)

Add the card 【Star Gate (South Heaven Gate - Xuanwu Gate)】 to your deck.

【Star Gate】(Each use costs 1 "Fire" and can only transfer cards no higher than the gate's star level. Current star limit for South Heavenly Gate: Red 5 stars and above, Stellar-level cards. Xuanwu Gate (long neglected): Gold 9 stars and below, Planetary-level cards.)
"Immediately establish a two-dimensional trade fleet, send people to maintain the waterway, and broadcast to the vicinity by all means such as light signals, electrical signals, and divine signals."

(1 civilian can be dispatched this turn, total: 7)

Each trade route like the [Stargate] requires 1 population per turn.

If you don't have enough wood, having a higher population value is definitely a good thing, as it determines the number of cards you can play each round.

Lu Cheng thought about it again.

"Take some building materials, and bring the Monkey King, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, with you. Let's renovate the Xuanwu Gate when we get there!"

(Gold -1, Earth -1, Water -1, Fire -1, the card [Monkey King] is temporarily removed from the deck.)
Card Event - Star Gate:

In the wilderness, an old train rumbles.

The Rustfire Revolutionary Army's interstellar train "Fireseed" escaped from the Demon Realm and has been traveling for three thousand years.

The entire vehicle consists of carriages welded from the remains of 160,000 Mechs and an incinerator made up of the body of a dying elderly "Burning Heart." Their predecessors were the 60th Mech Legion and the "Burning Heart" Chapter of the Plasma Civilization, left behind by the Purifiers on the planetary front.

After the battle line was breached, the 60th Army lost contact with the terminal. The supreme commander decided to preserve the flame, carry the bodies of his comrades, and retreat with his ally, the Burning Hearts.

In reality, the entire train is now nothing more than a mechanical ghost.

In the incinerator's front hall, the elderly mechanical body "Slag-17" used its severed arm to pry open the rusted fuel compartment, then jumped in to power the plasma, preventing the even older Old Deng inside the furnace from losing body temperature and dying. After all, he was the last surviving Burning Heart.

The shelling workshop is adjacent to the cradle workshop. Robotic workers dismantle their spoils, and the collision of parts serves as a lullaby for newborns.

The machine workers hummed:
"Little gear, grow up quickly, grow up and take down the Demon Lord's teeth."

Inside the cradle, the electronic eye of the newborn's "little bearing" flickers on and off.

The first memory pre-loaded into his chip was the roar of the incinerators outside those three hundred carriages—the heartbeat of civilization, and also the funeral bell.

The war carriages are located in the middle section.

After number 3000, there are unfinished Hope Platforms.

Forever vacant, forever unfinished, and never to see new passengers board—it symbolizes—no hope.

Of course, it's worth mentioning that beneath the carriages, the limbs of the track workers are constantly being used to forge new tracks for the train.

Today, every single screw on the train seems to be giving its last words as a piece of metal before its demise!

Amidst the cacophony of rusty rivets, the train's reception platform surprisingly received a long-absent noise.

The communications soldier received the message via "Zabo-85," but couldn't understand it.

He then pulled out the remains of his comrade-in-arms, whose plasma body still retained four years of warmth.

"Don't let my blood get cold!" These were the last words of "Ash," a great comrade of the plasma civilization, before his death. But in four years, it will cease to exist.

The Zebra-85 crammed the still-warm plasma into a pile of rusty parts next to it.

"According to the communication protocol, wake up the interpreter - noise 174."

After finishing his shift, the communications soldier reached the shutdown temperature, shattered into pieces, and silently died.

The carriage door opened, and the cleaners came in and swept the communicator into the trash heap. The guy called the interpreter reached operating temperature and slowly stood up.

"Civilization is rusty!"

"The flame will never be extinguished!"

The sparks from the collision of the fists of the two mechanical wreckages were the only funeral fireworks.

Noise174 pulled out its "blood vessel," a messy wire, and connected it to the communication station.

"Zizzi."

Contact list number 338 is in language and is being translated.

"Old man, don't be so stingy, let me, Old Sun, have a go too!"
